In addition, you can download an LSI command-line configuration program from http://www.ibm.com/support/. When you are using the LSI Logic Configuration Utility program to configure and manage arrays, consider the following information: Note: Once you activate the onboard RAID or add an additional storage boot controller (for example, a RAID adapter), you can no longer use the Product Recovery CD (for Windows XP) or the Product Recovery DVD (for Windows Vista) to recover your operating system and applications because it will no longer function correctly. You will have to manually install the operating system and applications. v The integrated SAS/SATA controller with RAID capabilities supports the following features: - Integrated Mirroring (IM) with hot-spare support (also known as RAID 1) Use this option to create an integrated array of two disks plus an optional hot spare. All data on the primary disk can be migrated. - Integrated Mirroring Enhanced (IME) with hot-spare support (also known as RAID 1E) Use this option to create an integrated mirror enhanced array of three to eight disks, including an optional hot spare. - Integrated Striping (IS) (also known as RAID 0) Use this option to create an integrated striping array of two to eight disks. All data on the array disk will be deleted. v Hard disk drive capacities affect how you create arrays. The drives in an array can have different capacities, but the RAID controller treats them as if they all have the capacity of the smallest hard disk drive. v If you use an integrated SAS/SATA controller with RAID capabilities to configure a RAID 1 (mirrored) array after you have installed the operating system, you will lose access to any data or applications that were previously stored on the secondary drive of the mirrored pair. v If you install a different type of RAID controller, see the documentation that comes with the controller for information about viewing and changing SAS/SATA settings for attached devices. Starting the LSI Logic Configuration Utility program To start the LSI Logic Configuration Utility program, complete the following steps: 1. Turn on the computer. 2. When the prompt > is displayed, press Ctrl+C. 3. To select a controller (channel) from the list of adapters, use the arrow keys and press Enter. 4. To change the settings of the selected items, follow the instructions on the screen. If you select Raid Properties, SAS Topology, or Advanced Adapter Properties, additional screens are displayed. When you have finished changing settings, press Esc to exit from the program; select Save to save the settings that you have changed. 26 IBM IntelliStation M Pro Type 9229: User's Guide

In

LSI
command-line
configuration
program
from
When
you
are
using
the
LSI
Logic
Configuration
Utility
program
to
configure
and
manage
arrays,
consider
the
following
information:
Note:
Once
you
activate
the
onboard
RAID
or
add
an
additional
storage
boot
controller
(for
example,
a
RAID
adapter),
you
can
no
longer
use
the
Product
Recovery
CD
(for
Windows
XP)
or
the
Product
Recovery
DVD
(for
Windows
Vista)
to
recover
your
operating
system
and
applications
because
it
will
no
longer
function
correctly.
You
will
have
to
manually
install
the
operating
system
and
applications.
v
The
integrated
SAS/SATA
controller
with
RAID
capabilities
supports
the
following
features:
–
Integrated
Mirroring
(IM)
with
hot-spare
support
(also
known
as
RAID
1)
Use
this
option
to
create
an
integrated
array
of
two
disks
plus
an
optional
hot
spare.
All
data
on
the
primary
disk
can
be
migrated.
–
Integrated
Mirroring
Enhanced
(IME)
with
hot-spare
support
(also
known
as
RAID
1E)
Use
this
option
to
create
an
integrated
mirror
enhanced
array
of
three
to
eight
disks,
including
an
optional
hot
spare.
–
Integrated
Striping
(IS)
(also
known
as
RAID
0)
Use
this
option
to
create
an
integrated
striping
array
of
two
to
eight
disks.
All
data
on
the
array
disk
will
be
deleted.
v
Hard
disk
drive
capacities
affect
how
you
create
arrays.
The
drives
in
an
array
can
have
different
capacities,
but
the
RAID
controller
treats
them
as
if
they
all
have
the
capacity
of
the
smallest
hard
disk
drive.
v
If
you
use
an
integrated
SAS/SATA
controller
with
RAID
capabilities
to
configure
a
RAID
1
(mirrored)
array
after
you
have
installed
the
operating
system,
you
will
lose
access
to
any
data
or
applications
that
were
previously
stored
on
the
secondary
drive
of
the
mirrored
pair.
v
If
you
install
a
different
type
of
RAID
controller,
see
the
documentation
that
comes
with
the
controller
for
information
about
viewing
and
changing
SAS/SATA
settings
for
attached
devices.
